This application claims the benefit of priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202221664623.5 filed on Jun. 30, 2022, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present disclosure relates to roller conveying lines, and more particularly, to roller conveying racks with quickly adjustable width.
A roller conveying line is an important type of conveying line, and is generally assembled by a plurality of independent conveyors. The roller conveying line is widely applied to a production conveying line of manufacturing enterprise, due to its simple structure, low cost, and high conveying efficiency. In order to convey different types and sizes of products, an enterprise generally customizes a conveying line capable of adjusting a height and a width. For example, an adjustable-width conveying line includes a main body portion, a plurality of first rollers, a plurality of second rollers, and a plurality of frame width adjusting portions. The first roller includes a first roller portion body. The first roller portion body has a first receiving space. The second roller includes a roller extension. The first roller is connected to the second roller, and the roller extension is slidable between a first position and a second position in the first receiving space of the first roller body. The frame width adjusting portion includes a first frame, a second frame, and an adjusting member. The adjusting member has a second accommodating space. A distance between the first frame and the second frame can be adjusted in the second accommodating space. Therefore, the width of the conveying line can be changed by the first roller, the second roller, and the frame width adjusting part, thereby solving the problem that materials whose width exceeds a fixed width of the conveying line cannot be conveyed.
Although a current roller conveying line of adjustable width can adjust a width of the frame and the roller, to adjust a width of the entire conveying line, each roller on the conveying line needs to be adjusted. In addition, a plurality of frame adjustment portions are provided. Therefore, the plurality of frame adjustment portions need to be adjusted accordingly, so that when the width of the conveying line is adjusted, many same adjustment operations need to be repeated, and the structure of the conveying line can be complicated. Therefore, the speed for adjusting the width of the conveying line can be greatly reduced, manufacturing cost of the conveying line can be increased, and the difficulty of maintenance of the conveying line can be increased.
In view of the above, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, a roller type conveying rack of rapidly adjustable width is provided, which includes two carrier plates with rectangular shapes, wherein the two carrier plates are arranged in parallel and aligned, legs are disposed on both sides of a bottom of each of the carrier plates in a longitudinal direction of the carrier plate, the legs on different ones of the carrier plates are connected by sleeve shafts and each of the sleeve shafts is broken in a middle portion, rolling sleeves are arranged between upper portions of the two carrier plates in the longitudinal direction of the carrier plates and each of the plurality of rolling sleeves is broken in a middle portion, movable shafts are disposed at the broken middle portion of the sleeve shafts and connecting shafts are disposed at the broken middle portion of the rolling sleeves, both end portions of each of the movable shafts are provided with limiting plates and are inserted into a respective one of the sleeve shafts, and both end portions of each of the connecting shafts are inserted into a respective one of the rolling sleeves, blocking rings are provided at respective through-notches within the sleeves and respective openings within the rolling sleeves, both end portions of each of the rolling sleeves are provided with rotating shafts, each of the rotating shafts is sleeved with a bearing fixed onto a respective one of the carrier plates, and servo motors for driving the rotating shafts to rotate are provided in the carrier plates, a plurality of insertion holes are provided on each of the sleeve shafts between the legs and a plurality of threaded holes are provided on each of the movable shafts between the legs, and each of the insertion holes is connected to a respective one of the threaded hole by a bolt.
